- 2017 Highlights
Personal Statement
Swimming has been a big part of my life, and I would like to continue to swim in college. I hope to find the right college fit between swimming and academic studies. Regarding swimming, breaststroke and butterfly are my favorite strokes, and I recently achieved my goal of a Junior Nationals cut. I like to be a well-rounded swimmer, so will try to swim all events at least once per season. I put my best time for each event within my profile. I even enjoy swimming Open Water, which I've been competing for Team Wisconsin the past four years in the Central Zone Championships. My best time in the 5K was 1 hour, 5 minutes and 30 seconds. When it comes to academics, I have interest in Forensics, Biology, Nursing, Natural Resources, and Ecology. I haven't picked an exact career yet. Besides swimming, I'm very involved in 4-H. I take a wide variety of animal projects, along with clothing, foods, and photography. The animals I've raised and shown this past year include swine, dairy goats, and cats. I've had many opportunities in 4-H at the county and state level. The other item I enjoy in school is choir. I have progressed through the different choirs and am now in our top high school choir. Finally, I enjoy involvement in church youth group. My experiences in and out of the pool have taught me responsibility, how to focus on goals, and the importance of taking care of myself and others, which will help with continued success in college.
